But if you didn’t know; I recently spent 7 days in Thailand on a girls trip. And obviously, to get to/from Thailand, one has to sit through 2 (hopefully) direct flights from Sydney to Phuket.

Our flight over was 9hrs 20mins and our flight home was 8hrs 45mins – And in that time, your skin, not just your face, but your hands, legs, body etc get super dehydrated and dry from the altitude and the in-flight air conditioning.

So here are some of my tips for keeping your skin hydrated on a flight, whilst adhering to those pesky airport rules around carry-on liquids 🙂

Hand SanitiserNot really for hydrating as it actually dries out your hands, but airports & planes = eww, so deffs carry this with you at all times! lol

Hand creamTo use after the hand sanitiser lol and throughout the flight. I love the Lanolips Everywhere Multi Cream
If your fave kind doesn’t have a smaller/travel option, purchase a travel bottle like these and fill them up with your fave creams.

Cuticle Oil
Every time I go get my nails done, my nail girl always asks if I’m keeping up with my cuticle oil, because my cuticles look sad and dry lol
So now I pretty much carry this 24/7 in my handbag.. Including when I travel 🙂

Now these are not in my carry on, but I also take with me a big bottle of body moisturiser, I love the Dove one as it is really hydrating & gentle on my sensitive skin.
And I always carry a bottle of the Banana Boat Aloe After Sun Spray, and I keep it in the little hotel room fridges if I get sunburnt; which is almost a guarantee when you’re a whitey like me haha 😛
